International communication and projects at Music Biennale Zagreb

Throughout her tenure spanning fourteen years at the Croatian Composers’ Society (HDS), Mirna Gott has demonstrated comprehensive expertise in various facets of festival management. Her roles have encompassed executive production for the World New Music Days (WNMD) in 2011, overseeing projects for the Music Biennale Zagreb, and serving as executive producer for the JazzHR platform from 2011 to 2021. Since 2021, she has assumed responsibility for communications endeavors within the Society, concurrently managing the EFFEA HUB operations in Croatia as well as engaging in international communication.
As a co-founder of the non-profit organisation Peek into the Story, dedicated to culture and art, Mirna Gott has been instrumental in conceiving, writing, and producing an array of innovative projects. Notable among these is "Showcase under Construction," an exhibition of thoughts featuring original texts in collaboration with illustrator Ana Mack, showcased as part of the Summer by the Book 2021 initiative at the Jelsa Municipal Museum. Additionally, she wrote "The Great Sock Adventure," a children's book designed for easy reading (illustrations by Lidija Kraljević). Furthermore, her investigative project "In Search of the Lost Sound" delves into the exploration of sounds vanished from contemporary urban environments, with conceptualisation and textual contributions by Mirna Gott, and website development by Bojan Gagić.
Residing and operating from Zagreb alongside her family, Mirna Gott remains dedicated to the ongoing conception and realisation of innovative projects in her field.
